#17 qtable_accessor and newlines

[Anonymous]

newlines are replaced by " " in GsTL_project::execute,
so that the command appears on a single line.
However, qtable_accessor uses \n to delimit new rows.
So parameters input from a table are modified. Do the
algo initializations (eg extract search ellipsoid, etc)
account for that or do they expect new rows to be
separated by \n?

The algo initializations (eg extract search ellipsoid) simply expect a string with 6 numbers. Whether the numbers are separated by spaces or newlines or tabs has no impact, because the string is converted into a vector of numbers using an istringstream (which treats newlines, spaces and tabs similarly).

This inconsistency could cause a problem if the parameters to a RunGeostatAlgo command are copied to a parameter file and loaded as such: the table widgets will not be populated correctly, since the rows are not separated by newlines.

Solution: use another delimiter for rows, for example '|' or '::'. In that case the geostat utilities functions that have to be modified to parse the parameters correctly.
